In this article, we’ll delve into who Tanner Courtad is and everything regarding his personal and professional life!

Tanner’s Journey on Bachelor in Paradise
Tanner was eliminated from the Bachelorette in Week 5 alongside fellow Paradise candidate Sean McLaughlin during their two-on-one date because Charity didn’t believe their connection was where it needed to be before Hometown Dates.
According to the promo for Paradise Season 9, Episode 3, Tanner arrives at the beach and asks Kat Izzo out on a date, which goes very well, leaving Kat’s early Paradise connection with Brayden Bowers sad. We’ll have to wait until Thursdays at 9:00 p.m. on ABC (or Fridays on Hulu streaming the next day) to see what happens.
Tanner was on season 20 of The Bachelorette alongside Charity Lawson. The season was shot in the spring of 2023 and will air from June to August of that year. Tanner was eliminated one week before his hometown dates by Charity.
Tanner made it far on The Bachelorette, but he never had a one-on-one date with Charity and didn’t get much television time throughout the season. His elimination came after a two-on-one match with Sean McLaughlin. Charity stayed with both men after the 2-on-1 and invited them to a group date the next day. Tanner was eliminated in the subsequent rose ceremony.
Are Bachelor in Paradise’s Tanner and Kat Still Together?
Tanner and Kat’s relationship on Bachelor in Paradise does not work out. According to Reality Steve, Kat ends up getting engaged to John Henry Spurlock, who will arrive on the beach during episode 3 on October 19. Tanner and John Henry were on Charity’s season. It’s unclear how Kat and Tanner’s relationship develops before she meets John Henry.
